Guests enjoyed learning about the beloved campaign and the incredible partners and products that benefit St. Jude.

Calvo added, "I feel blessed to be able to support St. Jude for the last 16 years. Every year, it brings such joy to my family and me to travel to St. Jude in Memphis and prepare a ?taste of home' meal for patient families spending the holidays there who may be missing their Nochebuena meals with their extended families. Sharing food brings us together, and it's an honor to be part of the St. Jude family."
This holiday season, find ways to give back through the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign.
